Disclaimer

This disclaimer applies to the website and social gaming platform Gipfelstürmer Social, operated by Gipfelstürmer Werbeagentur GmbH, Industriestraße 4, 70565 Stuttgart, Germany. By accessing or using any part of this website, you confirm that you have read, understood and accepted every statement on this page. If anything here is unclear, or if you disagree with any of it, please do not use the platform and contact us instead — we will gladly explain. We would rather answer a question twice than have a single player misunderstand what this place is.

This is not gambling

Gipfelstürmer Social is not a gambling service. It is not a casino in the legal sense, not a bookmaker, not a lottery and not a gaming venue of any regulated kind. Our games merely borrow the visual language of pokies — spinning reels, paylines, jackpot animations — the same way a board game borrows the imagery of property trading or a video game borrows the imagery of racing. The resemblance ends at the artwork. Nothing you do on this platform constitutes gambling under any definition we are aware of, because the essential ingredient of gambling — staking something of real value on an uncertain outcome for the chance of winning something of real value — is completely absent here. There is no stake of value, and there is no prize of value. There is only entertainment.

No wagering of any kind

You cannot wager anything on Gipfelstürmer Social. Let us be exhaustive about this: you cannot wager money, cryptocurrency, gift cards, vouchers, goods, services or anything else that has value in the real world. The only thing that ever rides on a spin is Summit Coins, our fictional in-game currency, and Summit Coins are not a thing of value — they are a score, a tally, a way of keeping the game interesting, exactly like the points in a pub trivia night. When your Summit Coin balance goes up, you have gained nothing of value. When it goes down, you have lost nothing of value. That is not a technicality; it is the entire design of the platform.

No betting, no odds, no stakes

There is no betting on this platform. We do not accept bets, we do not offer odds, we do not run books on sport, races, elections or anything else. The "bet" buttons that appear inside our slot games adjust how many Summit Coins are committed to a spin — a purely cosmetic gameplay setting with no more real-world consequence than choosing a difficulty level in a puzzle game. No outcome on Gipfelstürmer Social, whether a five-of-a-kind on the top payline or a hundred blank spins in a row, has any effect on your finances, because your finances are never involved in the first place.

No cash prizes — ever

Gipfelstürmer Social awards no cash prizes. It awards no prizes of monetary value at all: no money, no merchandise, no travel, no electronics, no gift cards, no store credit, nothing that could be sold, traded or redeemed. Every "win" on this platform is paid exclusively in Summit Coins, and Summit Coins — we will keep saying it — are worth precisely nothing outside the game. If you ever encounter a website, email, message or advertisement claiming that Gipfelstürmer Social pays out real winnings, that claim is false and does not come from us. Please report it to us immediately so we can act on it.

No withdrawals, no cash-outs, no redemptions

There is no withdrawal function anywhere on this platform, and there never will be. Summit Coins cannot be cashed out, paid out, transferred to a bank account, converted to cryptocurrency, exchanged for goods or services, sold to other players or redeemed in any way, shape or form. There is no "pending withdrawals" queue, no minimum payout threshold, no verification-before-cash-out process — because there is nothing to withdraw. Any attempt to sell, buy or trade Summit Coins or accounts outside the platform violates our terms and, more importantly, would be trading in something that has no value to begin with.

Entertainment only

Every game, feature, event, leaderboard and reward on Gipfelstürmer Social exists for one purpose: entertainment. The platform is a digital lodge where adults relax with alpine-themed games the way others relax with a crossword or a round of cards among friends. It is not an investment, not a source of income, not a way to practise for real-money gambling and not a stepping stone toward it. We deliberately do not publish "return to player" percentages, betting strategies or anything that frames our games as financial instruments, because they are not. If you find yourself treating your Summit Coin balance as anything other than a game score, we warmly encourage you to take a break and to read our responsible play page.

Virtual currency has no value

Summit Coins are a fictional virtual currency created solely for use within Gipfelstürmer Social. They have no monetary value, no exchange rate, no market and no existence outside our games. They are not electronic money, not a payment instrument, not a security, not a crypto-asset and not property in any commercial sense. Your Summit Coin balance may be adjusted, reset or discontinued as part of the ordinary operation of the platform, and because the coins are worthless by design, no such change can ever amount to a financial loss. Accumulating a large balance is an achievement in the same way a high score in an arcade game is an achievement — genuinely satisfying, and genuinely worthless.

Strictly 18+

Gipfelstürmer Social is intended exclusively for adults aged 18 years or older. Even though no real money is involved, our games use casino-style imagery and mechanics, and we consider that content unsuitable for minors — full stop. By using this website you confirm that you are at least 18 years old. We ask for age confirmation at registration and we reserve the right to suspend or close any account we reasonably believe belongs to a minor. Parents and guardians: if you believe a person under 18 has created an account, contact us at the address below and we will remove it promptly.

External links

This website may contain links to external websites operated by third parties — for example, responsible-play organisations, browser or accessibility resources, or the map service on our contact page. These links are provided for convenience only. We have no control over the content, availability, accuracy or practices of external sites, we do not endorse them, and we accept no responsibility or liability for anything you encounter there. When you follow an external link, the terms and privacy policies of that site apply, not ours. We check our outbound links from time to time, but the internet moves faster than any hut keeper; if you find a broken or inappropriate link, please tell us.

No warranties

The platform and all of its content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, availability, accuracy or non-infringement. We work hard to keep the lodge open, the reels spinning and the information on these pages current, but we do not promise that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free or free of harmful components, nor that any content is complete or up to date. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Gipfelstürmer Werbeagentur GmbH accepts no liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, this website — noting again that, since no money ever enters the platform, no financial loss can arise from gameplay itself. Nothing in this disclaimer limits liability that cannot be limited under mandatory law.

Questions about this disclaimer

If any part of this page raises a question, we would honestly rather hear it than have you guess. Contact Gipfelstürmer Werbeagentur GmbH, Industriestraße 4, 70565 Stuttgart, Germany — responsible person Fritz Berger — by email at xarubesaqi637@gmail.com, or through the form on our contact page. We may update this disclaimer from time to time; the version published on this page is always the current one, so please look in occasionally, the way you would check the weather board before a climb.
